“If you’ve ever wondered whether you would have complied during 1930s Germany, now you know” is a saying that has been printed on many images. The saying means that living through the Covid-19 (coronavirus) pandemic—and its lockdowns and mandates—is similar.

“If you ever wondered whether you would have complied during 1930s Germany, now you know” was posted on Twitter by Chrissy Dee on August 28, 2020. “Someone on my Instagram posted a quote saying ‘if you’ve ever wondered whether you would have complied during 1930s Germany, now you know.’ in relation to wearing masks” was posted on Twitter by EMCAT later on August 28, 2020. It’s uncertain who originated the saying.

Ms Hampton has made a series of posts online about the virus using the hashtags #Covid1984, #NWO, #SaveOurChildren, #Plandemic and #WeWillNotBeMuzzled.

The hashtags have been widely used by those who believe that the coronavirus is part of a conspiracy to establish a new world order (NWO) and impose authoritarian measures similar to lockdown on a permanent basis.

Ms Hampton also posted a meme which read: ‘If you’ve ever wondered whether you would have complied during 1930s Germany, now you know.’
